"Great experience. The property could do with a deep clean. Maybe two or three hours of going right around the house cleaning everything.

"This was one of the best hotels we stayed at as a family with young kids. The rooms are beautiful and clean and we made a lot of use of the kitchenette. We will definitely suggest this place above all others. Only suggestion would be to have more plant based options for the restaurant."
